Worst GTI/ED30 Insults.......

[lookoutsmudger]

When the TT came out it was unsafe at any speed.
They would fly off corners due to a very unpredictable 4WD system.

A Golf for billy no mates.

The classic Drug dealers car....

Isnt the classic Drug Dealers car a BMW - either the M3 or the X5??
lol

I thought the problem the TT had when it came out was that it was missing the rear wing which is why they had the recall to add it . . .

It was nothing to do with the 4wd, it was poor rear suspension geometry accentuating lift-off oversteer, which was resolved by recall, and bad aerodynamics at high speeds which is why they added a spoiler after 2000.

A Golf for hairdressers is more accurate.

^^^^ x2.

They basically didn't quite get the original TT rear end to work with the different areodynamic profile generated from a sleek low coupe - when the orginal Golf Mk4 rear suspension was primarily designed for the aero profile of a hatchback.  And the other issue was that Audi didn't think it would actually get driven like a 'sports car'.

Needed to buy a larger car and was looking at various 5 door cars for a few months following the birth of my daughter. I eventually decided on a nearly new 5 door GTi which was absolutely superb to drive and ticked all the boxes as far as space and performance was concerned..Here are some comments made by some work colleagues coupled with what they drive :

"you paid how much!"  - drives an Aygo

Carefull . . . Cass has an Aygo for his SWMBO.     

"expensive to run, and sh!t mpg. Insurance is far too much for me"  - drives a Pug 307Di

LOL - from somone owning French.  Kettle, pot and black come to mind.

The rear wing is just the 'visible' thing.  They had to modify the rear suspension too.

Something from Jeremy Clarkson in the latest TG mag

"People who buy Peugeots these days know nothing about cars"

"not very practical. What if you have another kid"  - drives a 4 year old Mondeo Estate with roofbox
"expensive to run, and sh!t mpg. Insurance is far too much for me"  - drives a Pug 307Di
"you've got more money than sense"  - Rides GSXR750, BMW1100S and drives a Megane conv 08 ?
"yeah..(long pause)..i would have gone for a LCR in white instead i mean, thats a golf anyway" - Drives a 5 year old Vectra

Only one person has said "nice car" and he rides a Yamaha R1

I guess envy is a wonderful thing !

Your work colleagues sound like a right bunch of w8nk3rs

For new golfs
All that technology is good.... until it goes wrong.

and for old golfs
I bet you spend a lot of time in the garage.
